Happy Easter!!!

From your friends, The California Raisins!



Now go dye some eggs!

Self-Portrait

The very first assignment in my Drawing Fundamentals 2 class was to draw a self-portrait. I don't like the way mine came out, I think I look pretty terrifying and not much like me, but oh well. The Drawing Studio offers a portrait drawing class, which I can't wait to take once this class is done. I'd love to become better at portraits, because I find people to be by far the most interesting things to draw.

Even though I continue to feel very insecure about my drawings, it does make me feel a bit better to look around the class and realize that, though mine could be better, they are still among the top of the class. So maybe school isn't all bad.

P.S. Yes, my hair is that short now, I chopped it all off once again.

Drawing Class

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I'm now taking a drawing class. Originally I was planning on posting everything I drew in the class, but given that we've been drawing the most boring thing imaginable, I decided against it. So, one week before the class ends, I know can show you a few of the things I drew during the course of the class.

One of the first things we did was just drawing a simple ball. Mostly this was to learn about shadows















A much harder exercise we did for homework one night was to draw an onion and a garlic.














Just yesterday I got to draw my Ikea couch- a lesson in perspective.















Overall it's been a really great learned experience. I'm going to take the next class, "Fundamentals in Drawing 2", so hopefully I'll have more drawings to share with you soon.

Flower

Last night we had an "Art Jam" party at my house. Lots of friends showed up and created some really amazing art! Everything from painting, needle-felting, drawing, whittling, and even clock making!

I decided to do something pretty easy, so I looked up a picture of one of my favorite Disney characters, Flower, and drew him. I did it free-hand and then water-colored him in. It's not the most creative thing in the world, but I hadn't used watercolors since high school so I wanted to try them out.


I hope we have many Art Jams to come, because I love seeing how artistic all my friends are! Thanks to everyone who came!
